Hi! I'm not sure if I posted this under the right subject, so sorry if it does not qualify for ''Behavior Byway''.
So, last night my cockatiel had his first night terror, and I mean his real one. He has had 2 before, but weren't really night terrors, as they were caused by two earthquakes. So around 12 am last night he strated flapping like crazy in his cage, and I immediately got up, opened the light and let him calm a bit. His cage was covered (as it has been for the past 5 months since I got him), but there was still some light in the room from the tv. I waited for him to get on my hand and watched to see if he injured himself. He wouldn't move for around 2 minutes, probably from the shock, but after that he was fine and he went to sing in front of his mirror. I said, ok, let's put you back to sleep now. I didn't cover his cage now, and there was light coming from the outside of my bedroom, so it wasn't pitch black in the room. After half an hour, he had it again. I got up quickly, as I was sleeping, opened the light and did the things as before. I opened my LED lights, so there would be some light in the room and opened the tv. I left him up on my dresser, hoping that he would go to sleep there. He didn't, he was just playing around so I once again put him back in his cage, gave him so millet but left the door open so if he had one again, he could get out easily. Well, he had one once again! He did get out and flew right on the tv. I left him alone to see what he would do, and he just fell asleep on the tv. It was already 2 am, so his night terrors were pretty constant, every 40 minutes or so. He is fine, he doesn't seem injured, he flies just fine, eats just fine and plays around the room. Has anyone experienced this? Like more night terrors in the same night? I don't know what I should do this evening. Put him back in the cage and hope he won't have them? Let him outside? Any ideas?
